Top 10 Methods to Save Cost in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
- 1. Leverage OCI Cost Analysis: Use cost analysis tools to monitor, track, and optimize your cloud spending.
- 2. Use OCI Preemptible Instances: Utilize lower-priced, interruptible compute for batch or stateless workloads.
- 3. Right-size Compute Shapes: Choose the most suitable VM shape for each workload and decommission unused resources.
- 4. Apply Autoscaling: Use OCI autoscaling to scale resources up and down based on demand.
- 5. Storage Tiering: Move cold or infrequently accessed data to lower-cost storage classes like Archive Storage.
- 6. Object Lifecycle Management: Set policies to automatically delete or migrate data to cheaper storage classes.
- 7. Monitor with Budgets & Alarms: Set up budgets, cost alarms, and notifications for spend thresholds.
- 8. Consolidate Workloads with Managed Services: Use managed databases, functions, and containers to reduce ops overhead.
- 9. Use Flexible Load Balancers: Choose load balancer shape and configuration best suited to your usage to avoid overspending.
- 10. Stop/Terminate Idle Resources: Regularly review and stop or terminate non-production or underutilized services.
